CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a national phase application which claims priority to International Patent Application No. PCT / US14 / 63576, filed on Oct. 31, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 898,387 filed on Oct. 31, 2013, the entire contents of both of which are incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] Hematopoeitic stem / progenitor cells (HSPC) and / or non-T effector cells are genetically modified to express (i) an extracellular component including a ligand binding domain that binds a cellular marker preferentially expressed on an unwanted cell; and (ii) an intracellular component comprising an effector domain. Among other uses, the modified cells can be administered to patients to target unwanted cancer cells without the need for immunological matching before administration.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] Significant progress has been made in genetically engineering T cells of the immune...
